Acerca de esta escucha
Wilson Abby is just another happy consumer, content to chase the carrot of new-budding technology. But when the universe delivers a swift kick to the diodes with the mysterious death of his closest friend, Wilson can't resist the urge to play detective.
Peeling back a veneer of half-truths, Wilson makes a startling discovery - one that people will kill to bury. Abruptly, life as he knows it is thrown into unimaginable chaos.
The Pedestal is a thrilling glimpse into a society madly infatuated with integration and endless consumer upgrades. Wilson must battle gangsters, conspiring politicians and hordes of flesh-eating creations before civilization is toppled from its pedestal.

Ferryman Charlie Dawson saves dead people - somebody has to convince them to move on to the afterlife, after all. Having never failed a single assignment, he's acquired a reputation for success that's as legendary as it is unwanted. It turns out that serving as a Ferryman is causing Charlie to slowly lose his mind. Deemed too valuable by the Ferryman Institute to be let go and too stubborn to just give up in his own right, Charlie's pretty much abandoned all hope of escaping his grim existence. Or he had, anyway, until he saved Alice Spiegel.

Just can't finish it
The story premise seems interesting, but I can't get past the main character's comments and personality, the use of "retarded," his comments on obesity, his transphobia against his boss. He just doesn't seem like a very nice character and I'm having a hard time getting into the mystery because of that. Maybe I need to give it more time to see if he can develop as a character into something better.
The real killer for me finishing the book, however, is the narration. The audio sounds hollow and tinny, like maybe the recording studio wasn't very padded. The narrator is a bit nasally, but worse, he reads with such a chipper inflection that I can't take the more important parts of the story seriously. The narrator also vacillates between either over-enunciating or under-enunciating; most noticeably with "l" and "r" multi-syllabic words. His comical accents when voicing different characters was also distracting.
Maybe I'll give it another try via the reading of a hard copy, but with so much out there to read and listen to, I'm not sure this will be much of a miss for me.
